4th Grade Climate Innovation Challenge VideoHartsfield TAG Students Earn Global Recognition in Climate Innovation Challenge Our 4th and 5th grade TAG scholars recently showcased their outstanding video submissions for the Climate Innovation Challenge, and we were thrilled to celebrate some exciting news! Over the course of three months, students researched real-world environmental issues, including rising greenhouse gas emissions and global temperatures. Working alongside local scientists and gardeners, they explored innovative ways to mitigate and adapt to climate challenges. Throughout the project, students demonstrated critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and technology skills as they researched, wrote, filmed, edited, and produced original videos showcasing their solutions. We are incredibly proud to congratulate our 4th grade team—Anai, Koi, Trinity, Matthew, and Avery—for earning the Best Storytelling Award in the elementary division! Their video was selected from entries submitted by more than 45,000 students worldwide, an incredible achievement that reflects their hard work, dedication, and creativity. In addition to this prestigious recognition, the team also received a $200 prize. Congratulations to these outstanding Hartsfield Hawks for representing our school with excellence on the global stage!
